I met Darlene in grade school and have so many fond (and crazy) memories of things we did throughout all our school years. One of my favorite memories is when we took the bus from Cudahy to downtown Milwaukee. (I think we learned how to do this in girl scouts.) We’d go shopping at Gimbels, buy ourselves an outfit, and then walk 1-2 blocks to Butter Bun for the $1.25 lunch special – a burger, fries, drink and one-scoop sundae. We thought we were pretty cool and sophisticated! Her family was very welcoming and I remember the five of them, and me, going to a lake and a restaurant and even a building they used to clean in South Milwaukee. After high school our lives split off and we just reconnected in the last year. My deepest condolences to Fred, their children, her brothers Jeff, Jack and their families. She was taken much too early and fond memories will always bring a smile to my face and a warm spot in my heart. RIP
Darlene and I just connected again after almost 50 years. We were high school friends. She was a bridesmaid at my wedding 50 years ago. She was able to attend our 50th anniversary celebration. And I was so HAPPY she attended. She made us a beautiful gift from her heart that I will forever cherish. Her family was her #1 priority PERIOD! I miss her deeply but I also know she is in a better place with her parents and other loved ones and has found eternal peace. My wish for her family is that they can hug tightly all the love she gave and their happy memories. We all miss you my friend. You will never be forgotten
My heart goes to all of you. Darlene and I had recently reconnected after many years. She talked fondly of her family, especially her kids and grandkids. I could see how much she loved everyone and was so proud of each and every one of you.
Darlene and I were close friends when we were kids, growing up in the same neighborhood. I hold onto and cherish those memories as if it were just yesterday.
Fred, Ray & Brandon and families,
So saddened to hear of Darlene’s passing, way too early. Our hugs and prayers for all.
